Break Free From Regrets
“Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14 WEB)
To whoever is battling with regrets about the past, I want to encourage you with this message.
Someone once asked me seriously if he could go back to the past to change a mistake that he made. The mistake is currently causing some bad consequences in his life.
The truth is, there is no such thing as returning to the past. There are no parallel universes either—if not, will all versions of people stand before Jesus’ throne for judgment at the end of time?
The only reality is here and now. You are the only version of you—uniquely made by God. Yes, God sees the past, present, and future, but every person can only really be in one place at one time.
No matter what has happened in the past, good or bad, press on and forget the things which are behind.
Treat it like today is day one of your new life. Every day is a fresh beginning to walk with the Lord.
God is so good that He can restore you with much more/better than what you lost in the past.
The first step to healing from a trauma suffered in the past is to decide to press on and look forward from now on.
“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2 WEB)
Cast your burden of regret into the Lord Jesus’ hands—He cares for you. Turn away from the hurt and look into Jesus’ smiling face.
You cannot run freely when there is a heavy boulder strapped to your ankle. Let that regret go and experience the peace, lightness, and freedom.
“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18 WEB)
There is a race, we run by grace, and there are prizes to be won. God placed a high calling in you. The future is bright and glorious so keep looking forward from now on. Things will get better!
Did you know that God has a plan to prosper you in all things through His restoration? In “All Things Made New”, you will find strong encouragement and comfort based on restoration truths from the Bible, causing you to look forward to a better future: https://bit.ly/prosper-through-restoration

野放台灣五十餘年,貪狼獨坐,三方四正殺破狼格局,少年多舛,白手起家,隨展覽雲遊四海,如閒雲野鶴常持各類底片機流連廢墟、山川、宮廟忘返,遂設幻影堂自詡堂主,一日三省「凡所有相皆是虛妄」,常宅於暗房沖片放大通宵、鍾情黑白世界之單純,彩色照片俗世繽紛花俏做作甜美甚至比現實更現實故少拍也。知天命之年有餘,了悟人生一瞬、眨眼即逝,雖非仙人,亦無道骨,初聞離垢地生清淨心,但離華嚴「不動地」尚遠,待修持也。
2017年盛暑拍畢《巨神連線》,心律不整差點心肌梗塞向閻羅王報到,意識死神隨伺在側,人生苦短,如何了生脫死、盡斷煩惱、無所罣礙、遠離顛倒……總不得解,蒙釋迦摩尼佛開示飆淚三晝夜,聞佛法數載始知自我渺如塵埃,甚感慚愧。閒暇乃參訪名寺古剎,禮敬焚香佛陀菩薩羅漢諸神天仙王爺媽娘,台灣宮廟千奇百怪、宗派錯綜複雜(佛教、道教、一貫道、天主教、基督教、齋教、回教&大同教、儒教鑾堂、天帝教&天德教、慈惠堂&勝安宮、軒轅教、道院、理教、萬國道德會、會靈山……)、神棍橫行(依人不依法、偶像崇拜、斂財、邪淫),因歷史變遷、社會動盪、政治鬥爭、意識形態等因素導致佛道混雜,但地獄造景稀少,後專注拍攝各殿閻王、判官、陰司、獄卒、七爺、八爺乃至一切罪人,各寺造景巧妙、耐人尋味,意境乖張溢於言表,造型扭曲非常人所能塑也,然匠心獨運、自成一格,專研西方藝術數十載方知真誠樸拙最美,絲毫不輸喬托(Giotto di Bondone,1267~1337)乃至米開朗基羅(Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni 1475 ~ 1564)矣。
創立於1986年的石門金剛宮風景優美可眺望北濱,雖主祀四面佛,儒釋道眾神尊也不含糊,可過七星橋解厄、繞行五百黝黑羅漢敲鑼印心、跪拜亞洲最大臥佛涅槃像,安太歲自不在話下,甲子太歲爺雙眼長出手掌印象甚深,1994年經閻羅王指示廟公建造一條肚內設極樂世界及陰曹地府之神龍,行走暗黑通道觸動感應機關,只見面容猙獰受刑者呼天搶地喊冤、身邊盡是血肉糢糊殘肢敗屍腦漿塗地,十殿閻羅各司其職、威儀攝人。新北市林口區青嶺湖北文紫祥宮包公廟則以壁面彩塑地獄浮雕獨步全台,粉嫩色彩搭配卡漫風格,尤為造型簡直恐怖到可愛透頂,該廟主祀森羅殿閻羅天子包拯(包青天),陽世冤屈者可至此參拜祭解,求破懸案者眾,逢中元普渡皆以紙紮船渡亡魂至彼岸,全台唯一閻羅天子巨像籌備中,四周環繞墓地,適合修不淨觀也。台灣首尊彰化八卦山大佛旁南天宮(1971)地府則是首座電動地府,規模精小但驚嚇度破表,略顯破敗但五光十色仍蠻凶悍,出自已故台南大道長金登富之作,而電動神明起始可追溯至1960年代北港朝天宮。倒是嘉義水上鄉白人牙膏觀光工廠「戴相府」、「將軍府」設置十殿地府出乎意料之外,乾淨亮麗、ㄧ殿ㄧ間、簡單樸實。由高雄蓮潭龍虎塔龍口入內可見全臺唯一交趾陶地獄牆面,尊尊栩栩如生,續入龍身乃進聞聲救苦白衣觀音大士三十三化身浮雕隧道,造型設色甚為古錐。高雄大岡山超峰寺入口處「西方三聖蓮池海會」(阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩、大勢至菩薩巨像)旁設靜態十殿閻羅(1970年代初),雖略為陳舊然韻味猶存,續往上行可抵「證菩提道-釋迦如來應化事迹」雕塑園區,一攬世尊畢生精華。如來年邁時,琉璃國王為報長期被釋迦族輕蔑之傲慢心,世尊雖三次單獨伽跌坐 阻擋大軍進攻之路,但因緣果報無法逆轉,昔日婢女所生王子瞋恨無以復加,還是滅了祖國。自持神通第一目犍連不忍無辜百姓慘遭屠殺,遂以缽盛救度五百族人,最終卻化為血水,佛言神通廣大仍不敵千百劫業力,因緣果報屢試不爽。其母死後墜入餓鬼道飢餓難耐,目犍連遂展神通救渡,但所食尚未入口皆化為赤火,佛陀囑咐農曆七月十五日僧眾解安居自恣日,於盆中設甘露美食供養十方僧眾,因此超度亡母。後世「盂蘭盆法會」乃至「水懺法會」、「瑜珈焰口法會 」皆為消業障、斷塵垢之超渡儀軌,既渡亡魂也自懺悔。
台南麻豆代天府規模宏大、造型豔麗,不但可遊十八層地獄尚可逛天堂(1979年興建,1983年開放),燈光絢爛、聲響駭人,獨自漫步宛如觀落陰、地獄走一回。先過「心頭山」、入「清心池」、進「陰陽界」、抵「交簿廳」、達「鬼門關」、遊「補經所」、探「枉死城」、行「奈何橋」,至ㄧ殿泰廣王照「孽鏡台」現造惡原形,睹抱柱、火床等小地獄。二殿楚江王開「陰查簿 」判案定奪,觀糞尿泥、餓鬼、舞池、寒冰、膿血、鞭韃、舌犁、劍葉、戟腹拋接、砧截……等小地獄。三殿宋帝王刑罰為倒吊、銅鐵刮臉、挖眼、搗樁、倒烤、吸血、穿肋、抽筋、蛆蛀等小地獄……兼遊「四生(胎、卵、濕、化)回魂府」。四殿五官王掌管腰斬、拔舌、沸湯、刺嘴、剝皮、箭樹、車崩、射眼……等十六小地獄。隨五殿森羅王豋「望鄉臺」回眸親人最終眼後觀擊膝、誅心、刀山、飛刀火石……小地獄。六殿卞城王別稱「大叫喚大地獄」,轄火牛、虎啖、噬腎、鉗嘴含鍼、釘喉、磨摧、砍頭……等小地獄。七殿泰山王為「熱惱大地獄」,窺烙手指、抽腸、頂石蹲身、油釜滾烹、割舌穿腮……等十六小地獄。八殿都市王掌管「大熱惱大地獄」兼火狗、鐵汁、鐵蛇、鋸劈斷肢、釘板、灸脊、鐵丸、磅秤……等小地獄。九殿平等王直轄十八層「阿鼻大地獄」,直透地心、內中陰森、不見五指、滿溢地漿,皆為極犯,另轄紫赤毒蛇鑽孔、夾頂、鐵鴉、針雨、蜂蠍……等小地獄。至十殿輪轉王上「觀生臺」、「轉劫所八司」(查驗司 、稽善司 、考過司 、恩怨司 、壽命司 、支配司、掌劫司 、授生司)後至「孟婆亭」飲「醧忘湯」忘盡前塵往事,依前世功德過金、銀、玉、石、木、竹六種橋樑至「轉輪臺(紫河車)」入六道輪迴轉生投胎。據《十八泥犁經》記載,人過世後七七四十九天為「中陰生」,經閻羅王審判善惡業力判定去留或懲罰百千萬劫,犯五逆重罪則墮入「無間地獄(阿鼻地獄)」永劫不復。地藏王乃幽冥教主,統轄十殿閻羅,逢三曹普渡便在各殿設「講道所」超度尚存善根之鬼魂。

地獄可能空滅嗎?若地獄空乏人間多鬼怪,地獄淨空世間何嘗非淨土?若能證空性何處現地獄?
地獄曠古來便廣泛流傳各部族間,老死生滅為自然運行之基礎、宇宙意識之核心,然今文明昌盛如咱城邦並非慾望消弭之所,惡性所及實無可根除,礙於憲法國家法律社會軍隊企業公司學校家庭團體之層層束縛不亞於十八層,乃遁於壓抑、束己情懷,暗埋心底、日久貪嗔痴慢疑怨噌會疊穢。而六塵未熄,心多妄念,妖魔鬼怪魑魅魍魎孤魂閃靈出沒於荒郊乃至人間,會靈於曠野密林以增性靈乃出世高人修煉之舉,我等凡人擅闖宛如迪士尼般之人造地獄,三魂七魄尚不足以出竅,驚邪恐怖淒厲猙獰倒滿足了自以為是的慚愧,豈不謬哉?

Postscript
I have been living recklessly in Taiwan for more than fifty years. According to Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), Tan Lang is the sole star in my house of Self. This star, which represents xxx, forms an equilateral triangle with that star Qi Sha and Po Jun on the square chart and constitutes a Sha Po Lang pattern. The pattern indicates a kind of turbulence and change, a life of wandering with ups and downs and it tells a lot about my life. After my ill-fated youth, I started from scratch and traveled around the world with exhibitions that I participated. Like a flaneur, I wandered around ruins, nature, and temples with every type of film camera obliviously. Thus, I founded the Hall of Illusion and claimed to be the master of the hall. Several times a day, I pondered a quote from the Diamond Sutra, “Everything with form is unreal.” In addition, I usually stayed in the darkroom developing film and enlarging those negatives overnight. However, I treasured the simplicity of the black and white world. The earthly, gaudy, garish, phony and pleasing qualities within colored photos make the images even more realistic than the real world. It is not my cup of tea, so I seldom took colored photos. In Confucian thought, the age of fifty marks the stage knowing the mandate of Heaven. I am now at my fifties and realize how ephemeral human life is. However, I am not an immortal, nor having sagelike characteristics. I just learned that the stage of stainless (the second bhūmi) and develop a pure mind that is free from doubt and defilement. However, I’m still far from the immovable state and need to practice.
In the summer of 2017, after filming the work Incarnation, I experienced a severe heart rhythm problem which almost triggered myocardial infarction and could have killed me. Consequently, I realized that death was waiting for me and the life is too short to figure out how I can liberate myself from the cycle of Birth and Death. I couldn’t comprehend how to be free from all afflictions and worries and how to avoid delusive ideas. I wept for three days and nights after being enlightened by Shakyamuni Buddha. Up to the moment, I felt ashamed that I failed to realize that the self is as insignificant as dust after these years learning and practicing Buddhism. Since then, I have visited famous temples and monasteries in my spare time, worshiping Buddha, Bodhisattvas, arhats, and all the deities and immortals. Taiwan’s temples are myriad with a enormous number of sects, including Buddhism, Taoism, Yiguandao, Catholicism, Christianity, Chinese religions of fasting, Islam& Baháʼí Faith, Confucianism, Tiandiism& Tian-De Teachings, Xiwangmu cult, Yellow Emperor Sect, Precosmic Salvationism, Liism, World Wide Ethical Society, séance cult, etc. Some people even claim that they can mediate communication between the deities or spirits of the dead with human beings, having their believer rely on themselves instead of the orthodox dharma or dogma and pay excessive respect and admiration for the mediums or objects, accumulating wealth through such an unfair means or even harassing their believer sexually. Due to Taiwan’s historical changes, social turbulence, political struggles, and ideological issues, Buddhism and Taoism are somehow mixed. However, there are few emphases on the concept of the hell. As I took photographs of Yama of each court, judges, wardens of the underworld, jailers, General Fan and Hsieh (the ghost escorts) and all sinners, I found few temples cleverly created hellish scenes that are intriguing, exaggerating, and extraordinary. However, the creations are unparalleled unique. I have been studying Western arts for decades and then I came to realize that simplicity makes the most beautiful works of art. These hellish scenes can even compete with works of Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337) and Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564).
Jingang Temple Shimen District, founded in 1986, overlooks the beautiful North shore. Although the temple is mainly dedicated to Phra Phrom (the Thai representation of Mahabrahma), spirits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can also be founded in the temple. The worshipper can go cross the Seven Star bridge to relieve bad luck, walk along the five hundred arhat statues and knock on the gong to affirm one’s Buddha nature. Furthermore, the worshipper can also prostrate themself before Asia’s largest statue of Buddha in Nirvana (the Reclining Buddha statue) and pacify the Taoist Tai Sui deity of the year. I was impressed by the Jia-Zi Tai Sui General that a pair of palms grow out of his eyes. In 1994, the biō-kong (the person taking charge of the temporal affairs of a temple) received a divine inspiration from Yama (the King of Hell) that he had to build a sacred hall in the shape of a divine dragon, with the interior designed according to the World of Ultimate Bliss and the Underworld. When the visitor walks in the dark hallway, they will see the tortured people (dioramas, of course) scrunching their faces and crying bitterly and loudly in excessive grief as the visitor triggers the mechanism. One will even find them in the midst of flesh, body liquid and blood, mutilated limbs, and rotten corpses. While each of the ten Yamas are focusing on their own duties, showing their sacred dignity that collect visitors’ attention. The Baogong Temple in Linkou District, New Taipei City exclusively features colorful depiction of hellish scenes in relief in Taiwan. With its pastel shades and cartoon-like style, the relief is both grotesque and adorable at the same time. This temple is dedicated to Bao Zhen (also known as Justice Bao) representing the incarnation of Yama. Living people who have been treated unjustly can come worshipping Bao Gong and receive exorcism. Therefore, many people come here for seeking to solve unsolved cases. In Zhongyuan Festival (the ghost festival), the temple will burn the Zhizha (paper craft) boat to ferry the ghosts to the other shore, which is the shore of enlightenment. The only giant statue of Yama in Taiwan is still in the making. The temple is surrounded by a cemetery, suitable for meditating on the loathsomeness and impurity. Nantian Temple (1971), located next to the Eight Trigram Mountains Buddha in Changhua, features the first animatronic underworld. Despite the small size, the animatronic underworld is intensely shocking. Though it’s slightly worn, the colorful dioramas are still brutally ferocious. The creator was the late venerable Dao Zhang (Taoist priest) Jing Deng-fu while the origin of animatronic deities can be traced back to the 1960s Beigang Chaotian Temple. On the contrary, the Whiteman Toothpaste Tourism Factory in Shuishang Township, Chiayi, features ten Yamas with individual booth. The place is unexpectedly clean and polished yet keeps a simple and modest tone. Then, the Dragon Pagoda of the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Lake in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, holds the only relief of hellish scenes made of Kochin ceramic. All the figures are vivid and life-like. If one goes further into the pagoda, they will see a relief tunnel of the thirty-three incarnations of the white-robed form of Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara) on a white lotus, with a lovely and interesting design. Another Hall of Yama is built in the 1970s next to the entrance of Dagangshan Chaofeng Temple, located in the Alian District of Kaohsiung. Visitors will also see three statues of the Three Holy Ones of the Western Pureland (Amitābha, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta) which assemble at a lotus pond. Although the hellish scene looks somewhat antiquated, you may still find its previous charm. If one goes further, they will reach the sculptural garden of “Attaining the Bodhi Way: the Incarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha,” where the visitor can see the essence of Bhagavato’s (meaning the Blessed one, one of the common epithets for Buddha) life. When Tathāgata (another epithet for Buddha) was old, the king of Kosala wanted to avenge the arrogance of the tribe of Shakyas who had long despised him, regarding him as a son of a maiden. Although Buddha has sat in lotus position alone three times to stop the army from attacking his tribe. However, one can never reverse the cause and following karma. The prince born of a maiden was so furious that he eventually destroyed his homeland. Maudgalyāyana (one of the Buddha’s closest disciples), who is said to have had supernatural abilities that surpassed the other disciples, could not bear to see the slaughter of innocent people. Thus, he saved five hundred people of his tribe with a pātra (an eating utensil of Buddhist monks). Unfortunately, everything he did was in vain, those who were saved eventually turned into a puddle of blood. The Buddha said that the supernatural abilities cannot surpass the power of karma. The cause and effect work all the time. When Maudgalyāyana’s mother fell into the path of hungry ghost, he used his supernatural abilities to save his mother from hunger. However, all the food turned into fire before being fed to his mother. Later, the Buddha commanded the monks to put nectar and dishes in a basin on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar for the monks from all directions to free his mother from reincarnation. In later times, the Ullambana Dharma Service, the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance, and the Yoga Collection for Feeding the Searing Mouths Dharma Service are rituals to eliminate karmic hindrance and to cease to worldly delusions. Through such practices, one can free the dead as well as confess their repentance.
Madou Daitian Temple is a magnificent and colorful temple in Tainan. Not only can the worshippers visit the eighteen levels of Hell but also the Heaven (it was built in 1979 and inaugurated in 1983) here. The lighting and sound effects are stunning and frightening. When walking alone in the space, one may feel like taking a Guan Luo Yin trip (a Taoist necromancy which leads people’s spirits to hell and communicate with the dead ones) to visit the underworld prison. Before arriving the first court of the underworld, the visitor will walk through the Mountain of Heart Summit, the Pure Heart Pond, the Frontier between the Living and the Dead Realms, the Soul Registry Hall, the Portico of Demons, the Center for Complementary Teaching of Canonical Books, the Citadel of Premature Death, and the Bridge of Vanity. When one arrives at the first court, they will see King Chin-guang, who is in charge of the court, using the Mirror of Retribution to show the earthly form of evil creatures and also witness the sub-hell of Pillar-Holding and Fire Bed, etc. At the second court, King Chu-jiang collates the register of sins the souls of the dead have committed to impose the punishments. Here, you will see the sub-hell of Excrement and Urine, Hungry Ghost, Burning Dance Floor, Ice, Pus and Blood, Whipping, Tongue-Raking, Sword Blade, Stomach-Piercing, Chopping, etc. Next, the dead at the third court, ruled by King Song-di, will receive the punishments including inversion tortures, face-skinning with steel and copper knife, eye-wrenching, pounding, blood-sucking, rib-piercing, roasting, tendon-taking, being eaten by maggots. The visitor can pay a visit to the Palace of Soul-Resuscitation for the Four Forms of Creatures (birth from an egg, birth from a womb, birth from moisture, and birth by transformation). King Wu-guan is in charge of the fourth court. There are sixteen sub-hells at the fourth court including Waist Chop, Tongue Removal, Boiling Pond, Mouth-stabbing, Skin-peeling, Sword Tree, Burning Wheels and Cart, Eye-shooting, etc. Next, at the fifth court, sinful souls are allowed to ascend the Tower of Hometown-Viewing to take a final look of their family. The visitor will witness sub-hells of Knee-striking, Heart-slicing, Blade Mountain, Flying Swords and Burning Stones, etc. The King of Bian City takes charge of the sixth court, which is also known as the “Great Hell of Screaming,” with sub-hells including Fire Cattle, Tiger-Biting, Kidney-Eating, Mouth-Poking, Throat-Nailing, Iron Mill, Decapitation, etc. The King of Tai-shan is in charge of the seventh court, the “Great Hell of Heat and Fire.” The sixteen sub-hells at this court include Finger-Searing, Bowel-Hauling, Stone-Bearing, Boiling Oil, Tongue-Removal and Cheek-Piercing, etc. Next, the King Du-shi is in charge of the eighth court, the “Great Hell of Intense Fire and Heat,” and the sub-hells including Fire Dogs, Molten Iron, Iron Snakes, Dismemberment, Steel Spikes, Burning-Marrow, Iron Ball, Scale, etc. The ninth court is ruled by the King Ping-deng. It is known as the biggest court, Avici Hell (the Hell of Incessant Suffering), which if the lowest level of the hell realm and the interior is gloomily and terrifyingly dark. Those who committed the most serious evil deed will be sent to the Avici Hell. Sub-hells such as Poisonous Snake, Brain-Removal, Crow-Gnawing, Raining Needles, Wasps and Scorpions are included at this court. After arriving the tenth court, ruled by the Great King of the Reincarnation Palace, one can visit the “Observatory of Life on earth” and the “eight bureaus of the Reincarnation Palace” (including the Bureau of Judicial Control, the Bureau of Good-Actions, the Bureau of Bad-Actions, the Bureau of Debts, Gratitude, and Vengeance, the Bureau of Longevity and Destiny, the Bureau of Familial Ties, the Bureau of the Reincarnated, and the Bureau of Birth). The sinful one will be sent to the Pavilion of Mengpo and made to drink the Soup of Forgetfulness to forget all past affairs. According to the sinful one’s merits of previous life, they will go across one of the six bridges (gold, silver, jade, stone, wood, bamboo) to the “Reincarnation-Wheel (Wheel on the Crimson River).” Finally, one is able to reborn in the six realms. According to the Aṣṭadaśa nāraka sutra ( the Eighteen Hells Sutra), after one passes away, they will enter an intermediate and transitional state between death and rebirth, known as antarābhava in Sanskrit, for forty-nine days. The being will be evaluated by Yama, who will decide if one should get reborn or get punished at the hell. Those who committed the Five Grave Offenses (killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and creating a schism within the community of Buddhist monks and nun who practice for attaining enlightenment.) will be sent to the Avici Hell and stay there eternally. Kṣitigarbha is the Lord of the Nether World, ruling the ten court of Hell. The lord will set up the “Hall of Teaching” at each court to salvage those sinful ones who still obtain few merits at the offering rituals.
Human beings live the Sahā world (sahāloka in Sanskrit, meaning “endurance of suffering,” a concept of mundane world in Mahāyāna Buddhism) where they share with other reincarnations (including beings of the hells, of the preta, and of malevolent nature spirits) with five turbidities (the Kalpa turbidity, the view turbidity, the affliction turbidity, the living beings turbidity, and the life turbidity). Those who commit the ten evil deeds (killing, stealing, adultery, lying, using immoral language, slandering, equivocating, coveting, anger, and false views) must fall into the three evil paths (animals, preta, and hell). However, how can one escape from the three realms/ twenty-eight heavens (including the six heavens of the desire realm, the eighteen heavens of the form realm, and the four heavens of the formless realm)? Worldly people who don’t have such an awareness cannot leave the cycle of the twelve nidanas (meaning causes or motivations), let alone eliminate the eighty-one afflictions (that have been produced due to misunderstanding regarding reality) and the eighty-eight illusions (including five afflictions of advanced practitioners, also known as five views: view of self, extreme view, evil view, view of attachment to views, and view of morality; and five unintelligent temptations: desire, anger, stupidity, arrogance, and doubt) of thought within the three realms and four Arya satyas (noble truths, including suffering, arising, ending, and path). They cannot realize that the essence of the five skandhas (referring to aggregates of clinging, including the matter of form, sensation, recognition, mental formation, and consciousness) , the twelve ayatana (meaning sense base, including six internal bases: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and six external bases: visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects), and the eighteen dhātavah (meaning compositional elements of human existence, including six consciousness, six faculties, and their objects) are the emptiness and the void. Furthermore, they cannot dispel the two reasons for clinging to the idea of the self and the attachment to elemental constructs and even believe in the two (false) tenets that that karma and nirvana are not real and that the ego and phenomena are real. As a consequence, they fail to develop the eleven wholesome mental factors (faith, energy, conscience, being ashamed, non-attachment, non-aggression, non-delusion, calmness, equanimity, conscientiousness, and non-injuriousness) and cease the sixteen unwholesome mental factors (desire, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wrong view, wrath, enmity, hypocrisy, vexation, jealousy, parsimony, deceit, flattery, harming, ambitiousness, stupidity, lacking of faith, idleness, being unrestrained, forgetting, distraction, non-discernment, ). One must bear in mind that once all our virtuous roots are discontinued, they will be trapped in the never-ending reincarnation and the suffering of infinite continuity.
Is it possible that the hell will be empty one day? If the beings in hell will become extinct while evil spirits inhabit the mundane world, the world could be considered as a pure land. If we could witness the nature of the void, then hell will exist no more.
Since ancient times, the concept of hell has been widely spread among all tribes. Aging, death, beginning, and end are the basis of nature and the core of cosmic consciousness. However, the prosperous civilization as our island is not a place where desire can be eliminated. It’s impossible to eradicate evil nature. Since fetters brought by the constitution, the state, the law, society, the military, corporations, schools, families, and groups are not less than the eighteen levels of hell, the mortals repress themselves, bury their feelings. Day after day, greed, anger, stupidity, arrogance, doubt, and resentment are stacking. However, since the six dust (visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects) has not yet been extinguished, people in the mundane world are still full of delusions. The demons, devils, evil spirits, and the wondering dead exist in the wilderness, while only advanced practitioners with transcendent would attempt to make contact with the dead in the wasteland and forest. Worldly people like us trespass in Disneyland-like man-made hell. It is absurd and ridiculous that the hellish scenes cannot stop us from perpetrating evil deeds, but the horrific and cruel scenes yet satisfy our self-righteous shame.
The pandemic has been boiling over for more than a year and a half. The number of infected patients worldwide is nearly a hundred and eighty million, and the death toll has risen to four million, which is equivalent to a war crisis. I hope that we can all be compassionate, give peace to the dead, treat all sentient beings well and equally. The hell is innately empty; however, deluded and misleading thoughts would give rise to all jealousy and hatred and then manifest the hell before us. This book merely serves as a memorandum of conscience for dictators of the world’s new cold war, supporters of unrestrained warfare, dark web hackers, and those who are cunning and contemptuous and maltreat others when knowing they have problems.

i am shame on you 在 Facebook 的精選貼文
今年書展我出書啦😎喺到分享一件因為尺度太重口味驚過唔到淫審處本書要包膠所以冇放入本書嘅柒事—【藍丁格爾の慘劇】
記得小學時期學校有學童保健服務,每年都要啲小學雞去做身體檢查, 而五年級有一次,班上嘅肥仔張同學去完學童保健之後返學校分享個女護士 摸佢JerJer,揭起佢包皮檢查,我心諗:痴L線㗎?仲有王法嘅!就真心膠地以為 高年級去學童保健會被護士姐姐摸JerJer,是類似成人禮儀式的一種,但冠瑤係 可遠觀而不可褻玩㗎!細細個已經知道要潔身自愛守身如玉潔冰清嘅我,就唔敢去 學童保健呢個褻玩兒童嘅邪惡組織(我細個誤會咗sor),所以五六年級我都冇去學童保健檢查身體,成為我後悔一生嘅一個決定,因為冇去學童保健令我完全唔 知一個人人皆知而又極重要嘅性知識---男仔的下體要揭起包皮清洗。
為免太重口味太Hard core,以下內容開始會用「車厘龜」嚟比喻男性下體, 大家自行領會。
因為由細到大我見到我嘅車厘龜都係戴住頸巾,我誤以為車厘龜個頭天生就係 連住頸巾,條頸巾就係佢嘅表皮,頸巾入面就係內臟唔可以揭開,正如你手多多搣開你條頸層皮會點呀?死囉!所以由細到大直到中四整整十五年間,我從來都冇揭開過車厘龜嘅頸巾嚟清洗,日積月累之下,佢條頸嘅皮膚就一直痴實條頸巾越痴越實,更加睇落好似born to be like this佢天生就born with a scarf咁,Baby I am born this way~
我不疑有詐咁度過咗呢15年嘅歲月,直到中四性教育堂我先清楚咁喺張陰莖橫切面圖知道原來車厘龜條頸巾入面內有乾坤,要定時幫佢除落嚟清洗,唔係就會痴到實一實,入面會好污糟甚至發炎,我心諗死啦我咁多年都冇除過條頸巾今次GG了!
返到屋企我鎖住浴室道門,暗自下定決心今日一定要除到車厘龜條頸巾,如果唔係我唔姓劉!我打開花灑較到熱水不斷用最強力嘅水柱巨炮沖向車厘龜,因為我睇古裝劇啲古代女人臨盆都係用熱水嚟鎮痛,原理係你啲肉熱到熟咗就唔會痛,而喺高溫嘅加持下 好快我隻車厘龜就熱到暈咗開始冇乜知覺,我就用手出盡力咁嘗試搣車厘龜條頸巾落嚟,一開始都好順利我用秒速1mm嘅速度慢慢咁搣條頸巾落嚟,但因為龜頭嘅皮膚已經完全痴實條頸巾,所以過程仲係好痛呀媽咪呀我一度想放棄!從此改姓陳啦唔姓劉!但係我唔捨得呀因為姓劉嘅聽講都係劉備嘅後人,講畀人聽好威威,為了繼續做劉備的後裔,我將花灑嘅水較到最熱同佢死過!今次我要破釜沉舟!不成功!便姓陳!
高溫燒滾了我~一切!我一鼓作氣乘勝追擊出盡力一撕!Yeah!又收復一大片失地! 慢慢地,我那十五年來一直被包皮覆蓋住不見天日嘅一片江山重現人間!原來真正嘅車厘龜頭係粉紅色唔是肉色㗎!U look so cute! 我人生第一次見到我隻車厘龜真實嘅面貌,車厘龜亦係第一次從包皮中探出頭來!就好似初生嘅BB一樣,Say hello to the world!
但正所謂:「一鼓作氣,再而衰,三而竭」,好快我因為長時間處於高溫又唔通風嘅浴室入面開始缺氧,而我以劉備嘅磅礡氣勢收復天下嘅大計亦都正式進入咗樽頸位,最難攻陷之地就係車厘龜條頸!有基本常識嘅人都知道車厘龜嘅頭部係上窄下闊,所以車厘龜條頸呢個位置地勢險要易守難攻!一來神經線比較密集敏感度70%UP!二來好似你著縮咗水嘅樽領毛衣咁,往往會喺你頭部最闊嘅位置撠住唔上唔落進退兩難,我久攻不下已經想放棄下星期再 搞,而且我屋企人已經狂拍門因為我喺浴室入面已經個幾鐘,仲問我搞咁耐係咪喺入面生仔,其實那時那刻,我真係好體會到嗰啲未成年少女被人搞大咗個肚喺自己屋企 廁所到生仔嘅嗰種徬徨!無助!全世界得自己可以倚靠嘅嗰種絕望!我們都只是因為 性知識不夠而闖了禍!Respect!Me too!
但前面就是劉氏最後半壁江山,寡人如果止步於此,天下人會恥笑寡人!就好似岳飛直搗黃龍就快打贏啲金人之際被昏君12道急Call返去無功而回仲被秦檜條Hihi逼死。嚟到呢個境地,我問我自己:
「Do you wanna be岳飛?」
No! I Don’t! I wanna be on top! 我仰天長嘯!力拔山兮氣蓋世!唏!我用盡吃奶的力一嘢扯下車厘龜的頸巾!Unbelievable!我不敢相信自己的眼睛,我成功了!車厘龜的頸部同條頸巾分離了!I am Free!Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
但是下一秒我就後悔了,我發現,我把車厘龜頭條頸的皮膚成條連著包皮整片扯下來了!媽咪呀我整爛咗我條Jer呀!
OMGOMGOMGGGGGGGGGGGG!
瞬間我隻車厘龜血如泉湧HP-999陷入了瀕死狀態!鮮紅的血液不斷狂噴!染滿整個浴室的地板,如果我屋企人依家入嚟見到咁情況一定以為我真係喺到生完BB,我不斷抆廁紙止血,但用完成卷廁紙都止唔到血仲Billy爸拿~Billy爸拿~咁流,我心諗今次Hihi了我真係整爛咗我條Jer啦!點樣算?
呢個moment,我同自己講唔好驚,人生流流長,整爛咗一兩條Jer好閒㗎啫,行出街大把人爛Jer啦!冠瑤我有咩大風大浪未見過呀?臨危不亂是我的優點!人係天生天養嘅,以前啲原始人整親都冇醫生睇啦!咪又係自然癒合,Everything will be alright!相信Mother Nature!相信我地嘅大自然母親!Amazing Grace~I need ur embrace~
我有諗過Call白車睇醫生,但我驚聽日報紙頭條會係【中學生血染浴缸 除包皮陽具盡毁?】,心諗我當初仲係小學雞嘅時候唔去學童保健就係唔想被陌生嘅姨姨摸我JerJer,先保住咗我嘅貞節,唔通我依家十五歲大個仔先嚟去醫院畀人摸JerJer咩!What a shame!咁我童年時嘅矜持同堅持仲有咩意義?Meaningless!
男子漢大丈夫!流血不流淚!忍一忍就過去!(請各位醫生原諒我中學時期真係十分怕醜廿分保守,如果親愛嘅讀者遇到咁情況一定要睇醫生檢查,必要時可能要做手術麻醉咁切咗包皮,唔駛好似我咁raw自己嚟,古代女人分娩咁整到一地血+痛到hihi)
經過二十分鐘,我卒之止到車厘龜嘅血,就慢慢小心翼翼咁著返衫褲,步伐蹣跚咁竄出廳搵消毒藥水 同膠布,我幾經辛苦卒之喺櫃桶底搵到一支【藍藥水】,心諗馬死落地行,就搽咗成支【藍藥水】落去我那奄奄一息的車厘龜頭上。
就這樣過了一星期,我後悔了,我應該睇醫生的,I am Wrong,Quiz Wrong!
車厘龜的傷口在大自然母親的加護下慢慢癒合,一星期後,我赫然發現,我的車厘龜頭,變了紫藍色。因為【藍藥水】的色素沉澱,車厘龜頭頸部的傷口變成了一圈紫藍色的龜頭Tattoo,既搶眼又叛逆,我看著我那勁colorful 漸變色的車厘龜頭,我好驚,我好羞愧,我安慰自己,這隻車厘龜,只是Pokemon超低機率出現的色違 小精靈而已,而且車厘龜本身就是藍色的不是嗎?它只是回到了最原始最Original 的自己,而已。
我從此入男廁只會走入廁格,因為我好驚如果我去尿兜小便,隔離位男同學眼尾睄到我那蒼色の龜頭,會問我: 「咦?亞種嚟嘅喂!」
我更加驚呢件事會醜事傳千里,班上的男同學會幫我改花名做【藍丁格爾】,毁了她一世英名。
最後,我嘅擇偶條件也因此多了一項:
將來嘅另一半要有色盲,分唔到紅藍者為佳。

i am shame on you 在 Bubzvlogz Youtube 的最佳貼文
I recently started to watch some older K Dramas and sitcoms again and was appalled that despite not that long ago, how problematic the tone and messages were. This applied to lyrics from music from the 90s and 2000s. Sometimes, I will look back and I feel so much embarrassment and shame for the things I have said and done in the past. It made me realise how problematic we were and how it was normalised. Do you ever feel this way? Well, I read some wonderful insights that really helped me and I hope it enlightens you!

So Bad
詞曲:高爾宣OSN & 陶山 Skot Suyama

導演:高爾賢 Alex Kao
So tell me why you wanna hurt me so bad
Tell me what am I supposed to do
And tell me why you wanna burn what we had
When everything I did was for you
Tired to be the only one
I’m not your Earth, and your Moon, and your Sun
So tell me why you wanna hurt me so bad
And what am I supposed to do
I ain’t complaining
當我擁有一切 how could I complain it
收到多少愛就得承受多少誤解
我的榮幸 哪怕一切都是陷阱
I ain’t complaining
I’m just saying
一切真的不是你想像的那種願景yeah
如果不會留下傷害
Sometimes 我也想過默默離開
That’s right shame on me
I never want it all want this fame on me
我只是凡人what you want from me
床頭的藥罐making fun of me
Yeah
Y’all don’t understand 我的病因不只一個
Take more pills more problems more liquor
演好你的角色別露餡
I thought that we could handle this like grown man
So tell me why you wanna hurt me so bad
Tell me what am I supposed to do
And tell me why you wanna burn what we had
When everything I did was for you
Tired to be the only one
I’m not your Earth, and your Moon, and your Sun
So tell me why you wanna hurt me so bad
And what am I supposed to do
I’m sorry
I won’t talk about it
沈默代表我一定會保護到底
But stop lying 我快看不到妳
如果不是妳 Then I won’t even give a fuck about it
我也想要開心的笑
我也想要醫生別再開新的藥 that’s true
說是為了保護我的大腦
想要咆哮 but it’s a mental lockdown
Look
I ain’t no saint
Everybody different
Everybody two faced
Everybody judging
Everybody lying to
Everybody stupid
Everybody shut up just mind your own business
我們總是不知不覺看著那片天空
卻忘記自己雙腳已經站在哪裡
Damn
I gotta slow down
Gotta slow down
找回遺失大部分的自己
So tell me why you wanna hurt me so bad
Tell me what am I supposed to do
And tell me why you wanna burn what we had
When everything I did was for you
Tired to be the only one
I’m not your Earth, and your Moon, and your Sun
So tell me why you wanna hurt me so bad
And what am I supposed to do

// Lyrics
Verse 1
Your blood, shed for me
My hope, eternity
Your grace, shown to me
Gives me life, and now I see
Chorus
Your broken body is my healing
Your sinless blood gives my redemption
Your chosen suffering brings perfect life to me
Lord Your sacrifice has made me whole
Through the cross I am forever Yours
Verse 2
Your love, poured on me
With the oil of Your spirit
The anointing, breaking fear
I’m alive, I am free
Bridge
This is a holy moment with You
I open my heart to all You wanna do
I still my soul to remember the cross
Where You took all my shame and restored all I lost
Where you took all my shame and restored all I lost
